While everyone was talking, they had already passed through the torii and walked straight forward. The ancient trees on both sides of the road are towering and very quiet. Li Qiufeng had been here last night, but it was night, so he didn't pay attention to the situation around him. At this moment, seeing these ancient trees towering and upright, I was afraid that they were hundreds of years old, and I thought to myself: "The time that Shajiabao has lived here is only as long as the age of these trees." How could such a martial arts family be taken into the wings by Yanagi Zongyan is really puzzling. “

The crowd walked forward dozens of paces and had reached the door of the house. Gong Qian said: "I can't imagine that there is such a big house in this poor mountain and bad water!"

Li Qiufeng thought to himself: "This Gong Qian is just an ordinary gang member in the Red Gun Society, and the Red Gun Society is just a very small gang in the rivers and lakes. Such a place with elegant scenery was actually said by Gong Qian as 'poor mountains and bad waters', which was really a tyrannical thing and a great spoiling scenery. ”

Sun Ze said: "When you arrived here, didn't you just want to see who challenged Sha Yiming, the lord of Shajiabao Fort? ”

Everyone followed the leaders of the gangs to Hutou Rock this time to watch this rare duel in the martial arts. It's just that Shajiabao is famous, and it is a very mysterious and terrifying place in the rivers and lakes. When the gangs arrived at the bottom of the mountain, none of them dared to set foot in Shajiabao. Although these people who were sent by the leaders of the various factions to follow Lu Heng were quite clever, most of them did not have high martial arts, and they were small characters in the various gangs, and they did not have the courage to go to Shajiabao alone. At this time, I heard Sun Ze say that the house in front of him was Shajiabao, and his face changed greatly. There were even some timid people who quietly retreated behind the crowd, and their eyes looked around, looking for a way to escape.

At this time, the seven killers had already reached the door first, and one of them walked up the steps and knocked lightly on the door three times. After a while, a crack opened in the door, and a man with a roe deer poked his head out, and was slightly startled when he saw so many people standing outside the door. The leader of the seven killers walked up to the door and whispered a few words to the man. The man looked at Sun Ze and the others again, and then pushed open half of the door.

The seven killers rushed in. Sun Ze smiled at everyone and said: "You monkey cubs, today you can enter the world-famous Shajiabao by borrowing the light of Lao Tzu, but your master, head, and helper do not have such blessings." ”

When he finished speaking, he laughed and walked to the door. When everyone heard that this was Shajiabao, they were all frightened and just wanted to flee with their legs. It's just that at some point, more than twenty black-clothed people suddenly appeared around, all wearing deep hats and holding long swords, looking at everyone coldly. Everyone's hearts sank, and seeing that these black-clothed people had faintly formed a circle, they knew that it was to prevent everyone from escaping, so they had to be white and pale one by one, and followed Sun Ze towards the gate.

Sun Ze walked into the gate first, and the rest of the people followed closely. Li Qiufeng blended in with the crowd, and walked into the door while looking around. As soon as I walked into the gate, I was greeted by a huge pond full of lotus leaves. It's just that it's late autumn, and most of these lotus leaves have withered. There is a winding wooden bridge over the pond, which winds its way to the opposite bank. There is a pavilion in the middle of the pond, which looks a little dilapidated from a distance. On the other side of the river, there are pavilions, black houses and white walls, and the scale is not small.

The seven killers walked slowly on the wooden bridge, and Sun Ze followed behind the seven, but his steps were light. One by one, they cautiously walked up to the wooden bridge, peeking around as they went. Thinking of the terrifying legends of Shajiabao in the rivers and lakes, I am even more frightened, for fear that if I am not careful, I will be pushed off the bridge.

When he walked to the pavilion in the middle of the pond, Li Qiufeng looked up, but saw a plaque hanging on the pavilion, with three big characters on it: "Washing the Heart Pavilion". Li Qiufeng thought to himself: "Facing this pond of fallen leaves, my heart is full of desolation, and when I get to this pavilion, I am afraid that my heart is full of hesitation, how can I wash my mind?"

When they reached the other side, the seven killers did not enter the courtyard, but turned to the right and walked slowly along a green brick path. When we reached the end of the pond, we turned to the left and turned into a road two feet wide. On both sides of the road are large willow trees that are tolerant and embracing, and hundreds of willow branches hang down like two green tents on both sides of the road.

Everyone walked along the road for half a pillar of incense, and they had come to a rockery. I saw that these rockeries have different shapes, and they are more than one zhang high. Walking into the rockery, I only felt that it was dark all around, as if I was in the middle of the mountains. There is a path in the rockery, which is no more than two feet wide, and when you walk in it, you just feel that it is cramped. In addition, the mountain wind blows in the rockery, making a whining sound, just like someone crying, everyone is frightened when they hear it, and the more they walk, the more afraid they become.

Everyone walked for a long time, and then they passed through this rockery, and a large courtyard appeared in front of them, but there was a big house at the end of the courtyard. The house was built in a very simple way, but it was very tall and looked very stocky.

The seven killers took Sun Ze and the others through the courtyard and arrived in front of the big house. There were two gray-clothed men standing at the door, and when they saw these seven people coming, they immediately bowed slightly, but they did not stop them.

Seven killers walked into the house with their heads held high. Sun Ze stopped in front of the door, turned to everyone and said, "You are all members of my Great Holy Gate now, and you want to make an example for other gangs." After entering the house, don't make noise, everything will be handled by Lao Tzu, and you must not make any claims!"

Since Sun Ze appeared, he has either killed people with a fierce look, or he has spoken arrogantly with a fierce face, but at this time, he has a solemn face, and he has completely lost the arrogance of Fang Cai. Everyone came all the way, they were already frightened, but when they saw Sun Ze's appearance, they were even more frightened in their hearts, and they nodded their heads in a hurry.

Li Qiufeng followed everyone into the house, only to hear someone shouting: "Teacher Sun Zesun, the head of the Shandong Great Holy Sect, has arrived!"

As soon as he walked into this big house, Li Qiufeng couldn't help but be surprised. He had seen in the courtyard that the house was so big, but when he came in, he found that the inside of the house was even bigger than what he saw outside. I saw that this room was six or seven zhang high and more than twenty zhang wide. Looking inward from the door, it was almost more than 50 zhang deep in the distance. On the walls on both sides, a huge arm-thick wax is lit every other foot, illuminating the room very brightly.

I saw that there were more than 100 tables neatly placed on both sides of the room, and there were many people sitting behind the tables at this time, but everyone was silent, and the room was extremely quiet.

At this time, the seven killers had already stood on both sides of the door, and a man in gray had already stepped forward and said respectfully to Sun Ze: "Teacher Sun, please come here." ”

Sun Ze nodded slightly, and then followed the man in gray and walked forward. Li Qiufeng blended in with the crowd and peeked around. I saw a lot of people sitting next to the tables and chairs on both sides. It's just that there are more empty spaces. These people were dressed in different attire, some sitting and some standing. It's just that most of them have blades, and they are obviously from the rivers and lakes. Li Qiufeng thought to himself: "Look at the appearance of these people, it's not a group of people gathering here, it's a bit like the gangs are gathering here to discuss matters. ”

Everyone was moving forward, and suddenly heard someone on the left side screaming: "Isn't the head of the Great Holy Sect Zou Shanggao, when did you change your surname Sun to take charge?"

This person's voice was sharp, and it was extremely useless to listen to his ears, and his tone was frivolous, and he was quite rude to Sun Ze.

Sun Ze stopped and turned his head to look to the left. But I saw a yellow-clothed lama sitting behind a table, looking at Sun Ze with slanted eyes. Behind him stood five or six lamas, all of whom looked gloomy and did not look like good people.

When the lama saw Sun Ze looking at him, he slapped the table and shouted: "What do you see, do you believe that the Buddha abolished your pair of tricks?!"

Sun Ze smiled and said, "Want to abolish Lao Tzu's tricks, I'm afraid you don't have the ability." ”

The lama said, "The Buddha has seen Zou Shanggao, the head of the Great Holy Sect, before, are you his disciple?"

Sun Ze's age is much higher than Zou Shanggao, and since this lama has seen Zou Shanggao, he naturally knows that Sun Ze cannot be Zou Shanggao's disciple. It was because he spoke like this, that he deliberately wanted to provoke Sun Ze.

Sun Ze said: "The traitor surnamed Zou usurped the position of the head of the house, and Lao Tzu is cleaning up the portal. If you are a friend of this traitor, Lao Tzu advises you to cut off your robe with this traitor, and not to be deceived by him. ”

The lama took a sip and said, "What kind of green onion are you, talking nonsense here? The head of the Great Holy Sect, we only recognize the surname Zou, but it doesn't matter where your grandson jumped out from!"
